Deep Thought No. 12

There has been a huge scientific discovery- one that is sure to change the face of the planet forever. Drumroll... are you all ready...here it is...


"Higher CO2 levels may be good for plants"

Wow. Plants like carbon dioxide? Really? You mean if you feed something more it gets bigger? Really?!

First- kudos to the German Scientists who spent thousands of man hours studying what every fifth grader in the US already knows.

Second- Kudos to the mainstream media for actually reporting this as news, again proving that they are not smarter than a 5th grader. (super level up bonus points for pop culture reference.)

If you read down in the story, the special olympic scientists are now going to see if warmer weather affects how plants grow. Here is a non educated guess- but solely looking at warm, co2 filled tropical climates- aka rainforests- I would say that warm weather does help plants to grow.

“In distinguishing communism from the United Order, President David O. McKay said that communism is Satan’s counterfeit for the gospel plan, and that it is an avowed enemy of the God of the land. Communism is the greatest anti-Christ power in the world today and therefore the greatest menace not only to our peace but to our preservation as a free people. By the extent to which we tolerate it, accommodate ourselves to it, permit ourselves to be encircled by its tentacles and drawn to it, to that extent we forfeit the protection of the God of this land.”- Marion G. Romney, “America’s Promise,” New Era, Mar 1980, 4

“I suggest we consider what has happened to our agency with respect to contributing to the means used by the bureaucracy in administering government welfare services.
In order to obtain these means, one head of state is quoted as saying, “We’re going to take all the money we think is unnecessarily being spent and take it from the ‘haves’ and give to the ‘have nots’ that need it so much.” (Congressional Record, 1964, p. 6142—Remarks of the President to a Group of Leaders of Organizations of Senior Citizens in the Fish Room, Mar. 24, 1964.)
The difference between having the means with which to administer welfare assistance taken from us and voluntarily contributing it out of our love of God and fellowman is the difference between freedom and slavery.” - Marion G. Romney, “Church Welfare Services’ Basic Principles,” Ensign, May 1976, 120

.223 vs. .308?

.308 vs. .30-.30

.30-.30 vs. 7.62x39

30-30 every time.

Imagine this:

28 year old, unmarried male

frequents Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun -alone- every weekend

Thinks people who drive hate bicycle riders because "they are jealous of how happy we are."

Believes that bands actually play better in concerts he attends because they see him and feed off of his energy

wants to ask for a raise at work because he "makes co-workers more productive and happy because they see [his] enthusiasm and hard work and it inspires them"

Wants to move to Brussells, because it is the center of the "progressive" universe

No it's obviously not me, but I sit by him at work- day in and day out...

Welcome to my little slice of hell.

"We should not assume; however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable." - Neal A. Maxwell. Not My Will, But Thine pg 124

"I decided a long time ago that I had faith in the command and I had no faith in the reasons that had been suggested for it ... Let's (not) make the mistake that's been made in the past, here and in other areas, trying to put reasons to revelation. The reasons turn out to be man-made to a great extent. The revelations are what we sustain as the will of the Lord and that's where safety lies." (Dallin H. Oaks, interview with Associated Press, in The Daily Herald, Provo, Utah, June 5, 1988.)

DC V Heller:

"Free at last, free at last..."

Although there can still be some regulation that will have to be fought, they can never take our guns away now. I urge everyone to celebrate this day as "shoot a criminal day." Already the liberals are predicting mass murders of babies and old people in response to this ruling. It will be interesting to see if the crime rate in DC and Chicago go down, or up, or remain the same in the next couple of years.


(PS- I am kidding about the shoot a criminal thing, please let our justice system handle the criminals.)
